Day 3. Hunter Valley to Port Stephens. (66 miles)

Time for some last minute wine purchases, with perhaps another vineyard visit; before we leave the fertile wine growing regions and head, via a relatively short drive towards the coast. Drive to Nelson Bay, the oldest of the villages gathered on the spectacular shores of Port Stephens. This is a real Blue Water Paradise, the permanent home of one hundred and sixty bottlenose dolphins, and the passing point of over three thousand migrating humpback whales. Why not join a dolphin cruise or take a 4WD tour across the sand dunes or relax on one of the beautiful beaches.

We suggest you travel on the more scenic Old Pacific Highway and take a detour to the Gosford area to explore the waterways and beaches. Located on the Central Coast region of NSW, Gosford has been attracting visitors for 200 years. Be sure to visit The Entrance on the foreshore with magnificent lakes, surf beaches, fishing and even pelican feeding.
